Random Comic News from Today:

- WB says the final Justice League trailer will release this weekend.

- Justice League test screenings and editing will be finished by the end of October.

- Affleck says that the criticism of Batman v. Superman was all "fair" and "not inaccurate," but that it did not result in any changes to the DCCU or Justice League because they always planned to go in a different direction after BvS.

- Affleck says that he "really enjoys" everything about being Batman and plans to stay as Batman "as long as they need me" and that this has "always been the plan and there have been no changes to the plan yet." But "if it were up to me, then I'd do it forever."

- WB is developing Batman Ninja, a feature-length anime Batman movie, that will debut at NYCC in a few weeks. It has a theatrical release in Japan planned and likely one in North America, but no final decision.

- One of the writers for the new Marvel Comic series Marvel Legacy mentioned that he consulted for some of the plot on Avengers 4 and incorporated some of the Marvel Legacy plot elements into it.

No clue how much or what parts, but here is the summary of Marvel Legacy:

quote:

Marvel Legacy hinges around a rabid Celestial known as The Fallen which arrived on Earth billions of years ago hunting for something and was defeated and buried by the very first team of Avengers. Now, Loki has discovered The Fallen despite Starbrand’s efforts to keep it buried and The Fallen is preparing to summon The Final Host.

The Celestials are some of the oldest beings in the universe. Created by The First Firmament — the first incarnation of the universe, before there was even a multiverse — The Celestials rebelled against their creator due to their desire for evolution and progress, whereas The First Firmament would rather things stayed exactly as they were. The Celestials went to war with their brothers, The Aspirants, and billions of lives were lost on both sides until The First Firmament fled reality itself along with its followers, essentially leaving The Celestials in charge of things.

As followers of evolution, The Celestials “seed” worlds that are just beginning to show life, separating the dominant species into three societies to observe them grow over thousands of years. Eternals are essentially gods among their people, bless with powers and extremely long lived lives.

- Geoff Johns has come out and called the report that DC plans to make their movies more stand-alone and less connected "totally false" and that "all of the DC movies are going to be 100% connected."

- Freddy Freeman - AKA "Captain Marvel Junior - is on the cast list for Shazaam.

He directed a video for Peter Murphy, so there's a stronger argument that he's secretly a hardcore Romantic than that he's secretly an Objectivist.

I think even known communist SMG agrees that Cap is a True Hero in Captain America: The First Avenger.

Almost. In Captain America, Steve Rogers is a hardcore socialist - but the point of the twist ending is that even this is not enough. Captain America 'wins', but awakens into a world where Stark Industries has created a dystopian neoliberal hell. Captian America is about Cap's moment of triumph is also where his ideological limitations are most apparent. He only cut off the head, and HYDRA survived as Stark.

From there, you would expect that Captain America would continue on to fight Stark industries - but the subsequent films are Rogers just accepting liberalism with minor 'cultural-conservative' gripes, before ultimately deciding to become a full-on libertarian when he sees how Winter Soldier is treated (his journey to Wakanda is basically seasteading - Bioshock nonsense).

The problem with the comics fans is that they are determining victory by, like, whether you can have a beer with the character, or whether they can kill the monster of the week. This is what leads to silly declarations like 'Cap is never wrong', when of course he is. He served Stark Industries and/or SHEILD for, like, five years - and is still open to working with Stark in the future!

In the MAX series he's mostly going after rich people and European gangsters. But there is that bit where he quips "They put the sights on the top for a reason" before executing a black gangster, which has probably been memed by guys who replaced the firing pin in their M1911 with their needle dick.

IIRC there's an average of like eight days per year in which they can release the Punisher trailer under this logic.

It's my impression that post production on these big movies run down to the wire a lot.

Kenneth Brannagh joked that Thor's effects reels didn't show up until the day of the premiere. LotR Return of the King wasn't locked until 2 weeks before its premiere and even Peter Jackson didn't see the theatrical cut in its entirety until the world premiere.

Fritz Lang was editing Die Nibelungen on the way to premiere, as I recall.

I doubt Justice League will be another Die Nibelungen.
